First Jake started the meeting by showing a funny video he
found on YouTube.

Next, John taught a class on RobotBasic. This is a great
language for beginners and experienced programmers alike. It is free to
download from http://www.robotbasic.org/.
We all had laptops with the RobotBasic s/w loaded, and John stepped us through
two challenges that he created for us.

Liz talked a little about a robot arm that she is working
on.

Scott had a few interesting give-away items that he brought
in.

Last up was Jim & Mark. Each built a Lego robot to solve
the "Find the light contest" that we attempted at the October
meeting. Both robots did a good job. Mark’s robot used the stock Lego light
sensor while Jim opted to use a homebrew sensor made from a CdS photcell used
in furnaces.
